alina devercerski - jag svär

what's this, another swedish pop song? that is correct and "jag svär" ("i swear") is the first of devercerski's three singles that i genuinely like outside the context of drunken shenanigans. the last comment is regards to the fact that i have danced and had a good time to her breakout single "flytta på dig" ("get out of the way") but it was annoying after a while. "ikväll skiter jag i allt" ("tonight i don't give a shit") was a clone of "flytta på dig" and a really poorly one while we are at it.

a big reason why i like this is the drums and the snares that is really cutting through. when they are given a solo, they play this roll that is sort of marching band but more machinegun. there is also the synthmelody that sounds like it's emulating an oboe that plays the right kind of sweet melancholy. deverceski's singing reminds me of avril lavigne for the lack of any less obvious reference points but i don't see it as a negative thing.

the track in general reminds me of le tigre but with more rave. it's excellent.
